~*Simple Explanation of Extrapolated Standings*~
A = Strongest Character
B = Character Weaker than A
C = Character Weaker than B
To figure out a character's Xsts Percentage ---> [(CvB)(BvA)]/50 = CvA
To compare how C would do against B ---> [(CvA)/(BvA)]*50 = CvB
To figure out how B would do against A ---> [(CvA)/(CvB)]*50 = BvA

~*Say What? Common Stats Topic Lingo Defined*~

SFF (Same Fanbase Factor) - Same Fanbase Factor is the theory that, if two contestants share a common fanbase, the weaker of the two options will underperform in a direct matchup. For instance, Link was expected to defeat Ganon with 65% of the vote in 2004, based on their 2003 values. Instead, Link collected near 88% of the vote. This is the best example of SFF we've ever seen. However take some SFF labels with a grain of salt, as many people will slap it onto any match that doesn't make perfect sense.

Extrapolated Standings - The mathematical "strength" of a contestant that's determined based on their performance relative to the rest of the field. This number is typically based on the contest entrant's loss, but adjustments are sometimes made. See above for a watered down explanation for how the stats are calculated.

Noble Nine - Link, Cloud, Solid Snake, Sephiroth, Mario, Crono, Sonic, Samus and Mega Man.

I explained this already. It was SFFd twice in the same poll, severely enough to be even with a bottomfeeder like Persona 4.

SA2 is going to take the lead in the US next update. We may see a comeback.

Yo Where All The White Women At

I'm telling you guys it's over already. The fact that it's taken this long to take US (while SF4 remains firmly in the lead in every other part of the world) just shows that there isn't enough strength behind sonic to cut the lead. Also, California ASV is coming up, and CA has been favoring SF4 all day. Chances are, in the next hour, SF is going to strengthen its lead.

Given that this entire 'comeback' has resulted in an SF4 increase of 34 votes, yeah...

Yo Where All The White Women At

You could probably make a case for SSBB SFF'ing SF4 if we hadn't seen it suck in several other polls, plus it's hard to say this is a result of it not being SFF'd more than it's a result of SSF4 boosting it -- this is the first poll I recall of SF4 since SSF4 came out. The GTA-bit though...I mean, you've also been blaming GTA for God of War's loss. These are two very different games you've been claiming a third unrelated series has screwed over, and I don't buy it.

It really sucks that ll the interesting matches are day matches, and I'm european. Hopefully SMS/Halo 3 will change that.

I predict some wierdass trends for Halo 3/SMS, given that it is a night match.

yeah the rallying potential behind SFIV is just like TF2 all over again.

On the bright side: SA2 is officially winning in the States now!

I'd never seen Mother 3's box art before that match pic though.

I'd heard people say it was bad, but man.

I'm almost tempted to raise my Oracle to 90%+ for DMC3.

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

So, what does this match mean for Uncharted 2? It kinda underperformed against LOD, so does anybody still think it's winning this half of the division? Or maybe even the 2nd round? (We still don't know the strength of these games 1 on 1.)
